San Francisco, CA — September 20, 2012

Esurance, the direct-to-consumer personal car insurance company, has again made the InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation's most innovative users of business technology.

In its second consecutive year on the list, Esurance has continued to embrace virtualization and cloud computing to keep pace with the company's rapid growth and make buying and managing car insurance easier for consumers.

Through Esurance's technology efforts, consumers visiting the Esurance website enjoy a faster, more streamlined experience than before. Additionally, these innovations will help Esurance more easily bring new products and services to market and expand into new states.

InformationWeek identifies and honors the nation's most innovative users of information technology with its annual 500 listing, and also tracks the technology, strategies, investments, and administrative practices of America's best-known companies. The InformationWeek 500 list is unique among corporate rankings as it highlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.
